Social Media Video Editor Needed

Job ID: 40213413

Budget: $10 – $30 USD

I’m ready to level-up the way my brand shows up on Instagram Reels and YouTube, and I need a creative partner who can do more than trim clips—I’m looking for someone who brings smart concepts, sharp edits, and an instinct for what keeps audiences watching to the very end.

The videos you’ll craft are designed first and foremost to engage with followers. That means strong hooks in the first few seconds, dynamic pacing, on-trend transitions, bold captions, and audio choices that feel native to each platform. I’ll supply raw footage, branding assets, and a quick rundown of the idea or product; you’ll shape that into polished social content and suggest fresh angles when inspiration strikes.

Key points we have to nail
• Format: vertical 1080 × 1920 for Instagram Reels; horizontal 1920 × 1080 for YouTube uploads
• Length: up to 60 s for Reels, 2–3 min for YouTube clips unless we agree otherwise
• Style: stay consistent with brand colors, fonts, and tone while keeping edits lively and modern
• Tools: Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut, or any reliable software that achieves smooth cuts, motion graphics, light color grading, and embedded captions
• Delivery: final MP4 files plus any custom thumbnail, and the project files neatly organized for future tweaks

Acceptance criteria
1. Video plays flawlessly on both platforms with no black bars or resolution loss.
2. Captions are accurate, easy to read, and synced.
3. Hooks appear within the first three seconds and retention charts show no major drop-off in the first ten seconds (we’ll review analytics together).
4. Turnaround on revisions is within the timeframe we set at the start of each batch.

If you thrive on pitching creative ideas, can make raw clips pop, and know what keeps viewers scrolling for more, let’s get started—the first batch of footage is ready to go.
